Bernstein analysts lowered their 2017 and 2018 oil price forecasts to $50 per barrel for both years. As reasons for the drop, the firm cited higher U.s. shale efficiency, their belief that elevated production levels will last longer than previously expected, and their belief that OPEC cuts will be insufficient to counter increased production by Libya, Iran and Nigeria. Publicly traded companies in the oil space include BP (BP), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) and Total (TOT).
